In my view, all autographs are not created equal — far from it. I place the highest value on a clean and legible fountain pen signature that was done in the 1930s, and the least value on a sloppy Sharpie signature that was done in the 1970s or beyond. In many cases, I consider cards in the second category to be simply defaced by someone's writing. If you can't read it, and there's nothing artistic about it, what's the point? Penmanship was once an art form. Now it's like a crude tattoo ...
